cactusbot Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sharkticon. What kind of lighting set up do you use to take pictures like that? I got my copies today. Grey and Yellow like everyone else. Vinyl sounds great! My covers were thrashed though. Haha. Damn Media Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sharkticon. What kind of lighting set up do you use to take pictures like that? The front window in my living room. It gets nice morning and midday sun. The background is a $1 piece of poster board from the grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbannon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 because he cant list it on ebay as an original not the case. you won't see me throwing records on ebay very often. i like to keep/listen to mine. it's just that Background Music is, to me, an American Nightmare release. at least thats what my CD copy said. i understand that AN and GUTG are the same band, but i feel the albums should be labeled accordingly and not changed due to reissues. When the band were forced to change their name, all physical releases with the existing AMERICAN NIGHTMARE name were destroyed that were on-hand with the label and their distributors. They were then revised and remanufactured with the GIVE UP THE GHOST name. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if EVR ever repressed the vinyl for "Background Music" after that first initial pressing, but I did supply them with a revised version way back when. Regardless of how you perceive the name change, it is/was the same band. In fact a majority of "We're Down..." was crafted when the band was operating under the AMERICAN NIGHTMARE name. The name is/was irrelevant, and the music is all that will ever matter. This reality will always beat romanticism. Thanks. Anyway, I'm glad you are all enjoying the release. We are very proud of it. -J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cephcarn4 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I wonder if that mystery extra press will be one of those super rare deathwish ones or maybe for the reunion shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I want the fourth colors for these SO BAD. If anyone is able to secure one and would help a brotha out, I would be eternally gracious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifornais Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The mystery colour is cool and all but the pink for We're Down looks awesome. Hoping it's the colour I get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 In Vinyl We Trust has pink if you're interested. Probably not a rarer color. http://www.invinylwetrust.com/Give_Up_The_Ghost_American_Nightmare_We_re_Dow_p/dw114p.htm So far the it looks like Wer're Down colors are Opaque Yellow, Orange/Gold (was supposed to be an EVR exclusive), Pink, and that mystery purple color. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkie Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Mine are still in Jersey. What could they be doing there for the last 4 days? Maybe hanging out with the Boss? my order is part of this contingency hanging out in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cephcarn4 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 In vinyl has 4 colors up - so by that i am assuming for background rarity is - grey / orange / white / green and maybe we're down is opaque yellow / purple / orange / pink ? - just a guess!! - little help jake?? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stopthisnoise Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I got 3 copies of each. Background music colors - opaque lime green, white, and grey. We're Down colors - yellowish white swirl? clear orange, and clear pink. That clear pink is probably the coolest color I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshiftrigger Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I was hoping for the pink but yellow wdtwug works and gray bm was the one I was hoping for on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szimm98 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Invinylwetrust.com has the option to pick up White or Green for BM and Orange or Pink for We're Down. The Merch Now ones I believe are still available too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
